Gabriella's Tea Room is set in Parktown North, a Johannesburg suburb lined with art galleries and design stores. The space has emerald-green walls covered in ticky creeper, antique chandeliers, and a fireplace. You come here for high tea or weekend brunch, with menus that include both savoury and sweet options. The room is also available for private celebrations.

The tea room shares a building with Ciro's, a restaurant focused on seasonal Mediterranean dishes. The kitchen prepares fresh pasta, sauces, and desserts, some of which make their way to the tea room's menu. The space is small, with bamboo arches leading to the seating area, and it fills quickly for weekend brunch.

High tea is the main draw, served on tiered stands with sandwiches, scones, and pastries. The fireplace makes it a place to linger in winter, and the green walls keep it cool in summer. The room is quiet, with the sound of teaspoons against china and low conversation.
